HomepageDualShockers's Reviews
In the end, the moments of jank and the less-than-gripping combat didn’t diminish my experience or my desire to play. I still enjoyed leveling my character. I still enjoyed building my party, especially where skills were concerned. I was also impressed by the intuitive nature of skill checks. When making a check, the game will automatically select the character with the highest rank in that skill to carry out the check. It’s a small touch, but a nice one. Ultimately, this is an easy game to recommend if you like RPGs that put their narrative forward and build their characters in meaningful ways. It may not find a home in everyone’s collections, but it will be a shining star for fans of the setting who appreciate a narrative focus.

If you've already played Cyberpunk 2077 after major 1.5 update in February 2022, there's little reason to revisit the base game. Simply play Phantom Liberty—you'll find some of CDPR's best content there. However, as a one-time experience for newcomers, Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 is often fantastic, and is absolutely worth your time. Just don't expect it to be a branching RPG set in a living world. Instead, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the cinematic adventure.
